Before we started the dissection of the abdominal cavity, I told you to look at the greater omentum. This is what you saw when you opened the abdominal cavity. You can see the greater omentum being lifted and put back down over the intestines again.
Abdominal Cavity
Watch this video to review all of the structures that you need to know from the first dissection.
Thymus Gland
Immediately after opening the thoracic cavity, you saw the heart inside the pericardium and anterior to the heart you saw the thymus gland. This video shows the relation of the thymus to the heart.
This is a closer look at the thymus gland. It will be removed in order to look at the vessels that are anterior to the heart.
Trachea, Larynx and Thyroid gland
Dissection of the neck reveals these structures.
Thoracic Cavity of the Cat
After the pericardium, the membrane and thymus gland and connective tissue around the vessels in the mediastinum have been removed, vessels and other structures of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems can be studied.
Urogenital Systems of the Cat
This video reviews the urinary system and the reproductive structures of a female cat.
This video reviews the reproductive structures of a male cat.
